Mackay and Whitsunday Life

Proserpine Veteran Golf

On Tuesday, July 23rd, 23 dedicated players braved an early start and travelled to Home Hill for the Whitsunday Group game. Despite the forecasted chilly morning, the day soon warmed up, though a brisk and blustery breeze presented an additional challenge. The dome-shaped greens added extra difficulty, with the wind making it even harder to keep the ball on target.
Despite these challenges, several players delivered commendable performances. The dome-shaped greens proved tricky, with balls often rolling away from the hole or veering off course due to the wind. Nonetheless, the players persevered.
Results:
Ladies: In a field of 22 players, Kathryn Borer finished in 2nd place with an impressive 36 points, just one point behind Carol Betteridge. Beryl Nosworthy secured 4th place with 34 points, while Vickie Wallace came in 6th with 31 points. The rest of the field followed closely behind.
Men: Laurie Dakin led the field of 42 men, taking the top spot with 36 points. Louis Neethling was a close second with 35 points.
Upcoming Events: Next week, on July 30th, we will play a Stableford competition. Looking ahead, the Wintersun event is quickly approaching, scheduled for Monday, August 5th, and Tuesday, August 6th.
The Whitsunday Group game in Home Hill tested our players' skills and resilience, and their performances were a testament to their dedication and determination.
